[0030] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0031] The following combination Figure 1-Figure 7 An electric control box 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0032] The electric control box 1 of the embodiment of the present invention comprises a box body 11, an electric control board 12 and a humidity sensor 13. The box body 11 has an installation cavity 113, the electric control board 12 is installed in the installation cavity 113, and the humidity sensor 13 is installed on the electric control board 12.

[0033] According to the electric control box 1 of the present embodiment, the humidity sensor 13 is disposed within the mounting cavity 113 formed in the box body 11 and mounted on the electric control board 12. Consequently, there is no need for providing wires for electrically connecting the humidity sensor 13 and the electric control board 12, nor is there a need for providing a mounting position for the humidity sensor 13 on the outside of the box body 11. Consequently, the electric control box 1 has a small number of parts, the box body 11 has a simple structure, and the humidity sensor 13 can be assembled more efficiently.

[0034] It should be noted that the electric control box 1 of this embodiment is suitable for being installed on the front frame 2 of the air conditioner, and a display module 14 is integrated on the electric control box 1 for externally displaying temperature and humidity.

[0035] In addition, if Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, the first direction is the front-to-back direction of the air conditioner after installation, the second direction is the length direction of the air conditioner after installation, and the third direction is the up-down direction of the air conditioner after installation.

[0036] In some embodiments, the first end of the box body 11 in the first direction is provided with a notch communicating with the installation cavity 113. The electric control box 1 further includes a display module 14, which is connected to the notch of the box body 11.

[0037] That is, a notch is provided at the front end of the box body 11, and the electric control board 12 can be installed in the mounting cavity 113 of the box body 11 through the notch. Then the display module 14 is connected to the front end of the box body 11 to cover the notch, and the assembly of the electric control box 1 can be completed. The assembly efficiency of the electric control box 1 is high.

[0038] Specifically, on a projection plane perpendicular to the first direction, the projection of the notch coincides with the projection of the mounting cavity 113, thereby facilitating the integral injection molding of the housing 11. The thickness of the electronic control board 12 aligns with the front-to-back direction, and the humidity sensor 13 is mounted on the side of the electronic control board 12 facing the display module 14. The electronic control board 12 is electrically connected to the display module 14, which is partially exposed outside the air conditioner and is used to display the humidity value detected by the humidity sensor 13. Furthermore, the display module 14 can completely close the notch, ensuring a sealed connection between the display module 14 and the housing 11, or it can be loosely fitted within the notch.

[0039] In some embodiments, as Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the box body 11 is mounted on one end of the front frame 2 in the second direction, where the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The box body 11 is provided with a detection hole 111 at the first end in the second direction, which is connected to the mounting cavity 113. The detection hole 111 extends along the second direction, and the detection hole 111 and the humidity sensor 13 are arranged in the second direction.

[0040] By providing detection hole 111, it is possible to ensure that the installation cavity 113 and the air conditioner cavity circulate with the indoor air, thereby circulating with the indoor air, thereby making the humidity sensor 13 more accurately detect the indoor air humidity. In addition, by arranging detection hole 111 on the side of the box body 11 adjacent to the side panel of the front frame body 2, it is possible to more quickly achieve the circulation of air inside the installation cavity 113 and the outdoor air, thereby further improving the humidity sensor 13's detection accuracy of the indoor air humidity.

[0041] Specifically, the box body 11 is installed at the right end of the front frame 2, the detection hole 111 is set on the right side panel of the box body 11, and the right side panel of the front frame 2 is provided with ventilation holes. The ventilation holes and the detection hole 111 are arranged in the second direction, thereby further accelerating the circulation of indoor air and the air in the installation cavity 113.

[0043] That is, the detection hole 111 is provided with a groove structure with an opening at the front end, so that the molding of the detection hole 111 on the box body 11 is more convenient, and the difficulty of integral molding of the box body 11 is further reduced.

[0044] Specifically, the detection hole 111 is generally a U-shaped groove with an opening at the front end, and the widths of the U-shaped groove at different positions in the depth direction are equal, and the axial direction of the detection hole 111 is consistent with the second direction.

[0045] In some embodiments, as shown, Figure 3 As shown, the humidity sensor 13 is installed at the first end in the second direction and the first end in the third direction of the electric control board 12, and the third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction.

[0046] That is, the humidity sensor 13 is installed at the lower right corner of the electric control board 12, so that the distance between the humidity sensor 13 and other electrical elements on the electric control board 12 is farther, and the humidity sensor 13 is less likely to be disturbed by other electrical elements. Moreover, the humidity sensor 13 is closer to the detection hole 111, so that the humidity detection accuracy of the humidity sensor 13 for outdoor air is further improved.

[0047] Specifically, the right edge of the electric control board 12 abuts against the part of the right side wall of the installation cavity 113, and the humidity sensor 13 is located at the inner opening of the detection hole 111.

[0049] That is, the wire passing hole 112 and the detection hole 111 are arranged on the right side of the box body 11, and at this time, the right side of the box body 11 and the right side plate of the front frame body 2 form a wire containing space for containing the wire harness. At this time, no other parts are arranged in the wire containing space, so that the detection accuracy of the humidity sensor 13 is effectively avoided from being disturbed by other parts.

[0056] Specifically, the plurality of positioning holes 121 are discretely arranged on the electric control panel 12, and the number of the positioning holes 121 is at least three and arranged in a triangle.

[0057] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 6 The display module 14 further includes a display cover 142, the display cover 142 is located on the side of the display screen 141 away from the electric control panel 12, the display screen 141 is provided with a first mounting hole 1412 on the side away from the electric control panel 12, the display cover 142 is provided with a second mounting hole 1421, and the display cover 142 is connected with the display screen 141 through the fastener penetrating the first mounting hole 1412 and the second mounting hole 1421.

[0058] The display cover 142 is used to cover the front side of the display screen 141 to improve the appearance of the display module 14, and through the arrangement of the first mounting hole 1412 and the second mounting hole 1421, the quick alignment of the display cover 142 on the front side of the display screen 141 is facilitated, and the connection efficiency of the display cover 142 and the display screen 141 is improved.
